Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of food technology, specifically relating to a pre-processing system for making fruit-flavored frozen beverages. Background Technology
[0002] The pre-processing of frozen drinks involves mixing, volume adjustment, homogenization, sterilization, cooling, and aging of raw materials. There are generally two methods for adding fruit products: one is to directly mix the fruit with other raw materials in a mixing tank and then heat it for sterilization. This method is simple to operate, but the loss of fruit flavor, color, and texture becomes noticeable as the heating time increases; the other method is to add the fruit in an aging tank. Because it is added at a low temperature, the fruit flavor, color, and texture are not lost. However, because this is done in a clean area, the risk of external contamination increases over time, potentially affecting the quality of the final product.
[0003] Therefore, providing a pre-processing technology for fruit-flavored frozen beverages that can maintain the natural fruit flavor and color while reducing the risk of microorganisms and eliminating potential problems for quality control of subsequent products has become a problem that needs to be solved.

[0186] Test case
[0187] 1. Color Measurement
[0188] Based on the test results in Tables 1-6, the soft-serve ice cream prepared in the examples and Comparative Examples 8-1 to 8-3 exhibits a natural color, which can reduce color loss during the pre-processing of frozen beverages prepared with fruit. However, the frozen drinks prepared in Comparative Examples 8-1 to 8-3 show uneven mixing of fruit ingredients. In Comparative Examples 2-1 to 6-3, the color loss of the fruit during the pre-processing of frozen beverages is severe, affecting the sensory characteristics of the products.
[0189] 2. Microbial assay
[0190] Using national standard processes GB 4789.3, GB 4789.2, and GB4789.41, the results are as follows:
[0191] Examples 2-1, 2-2, 2-3, Comparative Examples 2-1, 2-2, 2-3, 3-1, 3-2, 3-3, 3-1, 3-2, 3-3, 4-1, 4-2, 4-3, 4-1, 4-2, 4-3, 5-1, 5-2, 5-3, 6-1, 6-2, 6-3, 7-1, 7-2, and 7-3 were all not detected.
[0192] Comparative Examples 8-1, 8-2, and 8-3 are considered to have potential risks.
[0193] The experimental results show that, for individual fruit flavors, formula 2, with added jam during homogenization, has a more moderate flavor and texture. The other formulas primarily suffer from variations in flavor and texture due to differences in the amount of the same jam added, and the high cost of jam necessitates careful consideration. Furthermore, different jam varieties have different optimal addition amounts based on their individual flavors, but the final experimental results are consistent: adding jam during homogenization results in better flavor, color, and texture than adding it during mixing. The underlying principle is to minimize the high-temperature processing time, thus preserving the color and flavor of the fruit products as much as possible. Adding fruit products to the balancing tank ensures more uniform mixing. Since the dispersion effect after homogenization is much better than adding directly to the aging tank, adding in the aging tank can lead to uneven flavor, especially noticeable with small amounts. This invention overcomes the limitations of traditional process equipment and improves the quality of pre-treated products, particularly in products with added fruit products, making it worthy of promotion.
[0194] The pretreatment process and system for producing fruit-flavored frozen beverages provided by this utility model can improve quality and reduce risks. Using the system and process provided by this utility model results in a product with a realistic and natural flavor, texture, and color, while avoiding microbial risks in later stages. It also reduces the amount of fruit added while ensuring flavor and texture quality, effectively saving costs.
[0195] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
